I don't know about SF but many cities have patrollers. Getting caught without a ticket is an instant fine.

I totally get your point but you can choose to not have that validate you. I put effort into my appearance because I really enjoy it, but more than anything - anything at all - I care about how good my work is and I'd rather be a hermi

In 96 I upgraded my 200mb internal to 2G. I felt like the Queen of England for a good couple of years with that. What's great about these microSDs is that you can put them anywhere - cameras, sensor devices whathaveyou. Maybe one day w

I'm a rather fashionable young woman thanks. It doesn't bother me in the slightest when I meet someone whose clothes don't fit the stereotype, perhaps you are in a more cloistered environment?

I just came out of doing that. The first question I got is "That's nice. But can it also do X?". On days like these I consider myself lucky that my boyfriend is also a programmer and we can pat each other on the back. Having

>a loss of many of the best women for the traditionally-female professions I'd really disagree with that. It means the best women are heads of those departments, not that they are lost from the profession.

I think those are precisely the 2 reasons we have so few male teachers entering the workforce these days. It's an awful awful thing. Being a teacher used to be a prestigious career.

by marquis 13y ago
Could I take your comment to mean that men are not teachers because of the low pay-scale? It's a valid point and certainly one we would all like addressed.

My uncle lost his job recently as a factory worker and is retraining at the age of 50 to be an nurse aide. He wishes he'd trained as nurse but 30 years ago it was near impossible. Not every man wants to be a brain surgeon. And teachers

I'm not maled so I google 'male advocacy' and picked what came up first. Want some equivalent sources on women? I can pick a few hundred off the top of my head. As a feminist I completely support such groups for men also in c

Agreed. You can't account for taste, but you can also not be offended personally by it. I see their contact page as a question of taste more than morality.

I'm female and found the image ironic, in the sense that it references the games I used to play in the 80s waiting for my fast food order. In the right context I think a half-naked body works quite fine. And this context is ironic, and

Hi, personal experience is my source and the fact that I come across very very very few other technical women in my field, and when I do they benefit from small, gender-balanced or single-gender classes. I think what works best for girls de

by marquis 13y ago
That's the reason why classes for girls (not necessarily primarily but directed towards) work so well. Being in a room full of men with few or no women in ANY circumstance is awkward unless you are top of your game.

This assumes you are not solving hard algorithmic problems, but I certainly agree the open sourcing certain components can be very valuable - you can get more customers if others are extending your work and of course you attract consulting

Legs in themselves were considered risqué. These sewing machines would also have been covered with large skirts, much like the Victorian dinner table.

It's not so much that this exists: it's that she built something. Kudos to that. Of course this idea isn't new. I use one of these when camping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYq34Bxkp5w&t=3m55s

Also, jobs? When I was growing up teenagers were the mainstay of the supermarket bag&checkout for example - now I see older people having these jobs. Which probably means there isn't much lower to go in terms of income.

I wonder how a landlord in SF would feel about using a residential address as a shared office: much more affordable than downtown real estate and maybe the bonus of a garden for the summer. I expect that happens a lot unofficially..

Looking at the photos it doesn't seem there is a lot of privacy unless you permanently camp out in a conference room. I'm on the phone pretty much all the time, would this not be a good fit, for when I'm in SF?

I wear distinctive designer glasses with transition lenses. I guess that doesn't help?
